“…It also recognizes the negative effects standardization has had on teachers' pedagogical authority and creativity (Comber, 2016). In Colombia, "pedagogical equity" (Calvo, 2007) draws attention to how teaching and learning processes are affected in marginalized, urban communities. We draw on the line of SJTE that takes a collaborative, collective, and situated approach to addressing these inequities, valuing the knowledge, skills, and perspectives that all community members bring to these challenges (Cochran- Smith & Lytle, 2009;Zeichner, 2011).…”

Here we share findings from a 9-month qualitative case study involving a school–university professional development inquiry into how teachers develop, implement, and interpret community-based pedagogies (CBPs), an asset-based approach to curriculum that acknowledges mandated standards but begins with recognizing and valuing local knowledge. After describing the structure and activities of the professional development project, we focus on the work and perspectives of four teachers at one public school in Bogotá. The challenges identified were outweighed by the benefits, including increased student engagement, motivation, family–school involvement, and an appreciation of local knowledge as curriculum resource. In addition to generating rich curriculum exemplars in chemistry, social studies, and language arts, the teachers’ interpretations and enactments of CBPs indicate that CBPs are flexible enough to allow multiple entry points, teacher autonomy, and ownership, and share enough commonalities with other pedagogical approaches to allow different learning trajectories for teachers and students.
